Need a last-minute Mother's Day card idea? Stitch one! Chronicle Books has offered us this tutorial from Jessica Marquez, author of Stitched Gifts. The book offers 25 simple embroidery projects for weddings, holidays, baby showers, anniversaries, or just because. Here's one for mums.

Stitching this card should take 30-45 minutes according to the directions, so you don't even need to start until about 10:30 PM on Saturday night, right?

So pretty! (And perfect for those of us who cough-cough-forgot-to-buy-a-card.) Have you SEEN the leftover cards that are available on Mother's Day itself? At least this will look like I meant to give a handmade card all along... :)
